What happens if a unit without a dual strength should find itself in the time origin?

The E 8/2 Tranoan Time Bomb reads:
-Played to a unit in the time origin.
-When in the fleet, activate against a unit, sending that unit to the time origin, discarding this card.
-When discarded from the fleet, this card must be moved to a unit in the time origin or it is placed in the discard pile.

It sounds like this equipment would allow me to send an opponent ship to the time origin? Is this possible? If so what happens to the unit that is transported there? If it can operate there what is it capable of?

Hello all

You can send a regular unit or card to the Time Origon. Cards on a ship sent to the Time Origon stay on the card for the trip. If the ship you time bomb has a Pirate Captain that engages his ship or maybe a Perpetual Motion card on it, it could engage and funtion in the Time Origon without restrictions. Otherwise the ship that you Time Bomb will have to have terrain in the Time Origon to engage and funtion. I guess a Thane or other Nobles that produce points will also work.

If I understand you correctly all units which require
engagement can only be engaged while in the time origin
if they have an accompanying card/rule that is in the
time origin and provides points sufficient to engage
them.

Does this apply to the command points required by Time
Knights?

Hello all

In our group, command points make command slots which determine how many ships can be in play and how many ships can still be played. The command slots are used up by units in the regular fleet and in the Time Origon. Time Knight cannot use a command slot until all ships have used a command slot but it can use the command slot while in the Time Origons.

That is how we do it
